Hello Everyone

As we start to see Spring like weather we have been working hard to get The Muni ready for another season. The golf course has wintered great and the upcoming beautiful weather did have us consider opening for a few days but with the extended forecast still cold, with chances of snow, we have decided to remain closed and use these nice days to continue preparing the course, so that we have clean playing surfaces and cut grass when we do finally open. If the forecast changes we will be ready to open though and it’s looking like it might be a very very early start to the year with lots of April golf.

Our yearly tournament/ league schedule has also been set, so save these dates in your calendar:

June 26th- 3 Man Cash Scramble ***New Event***

July 3rd- Men’s Invitational

July 25th- Sr Men’s Club Championship

August 7th-8th- Men’s Club Championship

August 22nd- Ladies Club Championship

September 11th-12th- Romeo Cup

We will also have our Men’s League operating again this season with some minor changes due to Covid and tee sheet availability. All information can be found on the website under the Men’s leagues section.

Our Monday morning Jr. Program will also see changes due to Covid with the regular program still not operating. We will be offer two 4 day golf camps from 8am till 12pm with limited numbers from June 29th to July 2nd and August 3rd to August 6th. Cost is $250 and registration and sign up info can be found on the website on the Jr golf league section.

Lastly we are now in the clubhouse every Monday to Friday from 8am till 4pm for anyone who still wishes to come in and get their 2021 membership.

I look forward to seeing everyone soon.

Kyle

Just a quick reminder that today is the last day for Early Membership Sales, we will be in the clubhouse from 12pm till 4pm.

Look forward to seeing everyone who comes out.

Hello Everyone

Just a quick reminder that we will be in the clubhouse today from 12pm till 4pm for Early Membership sales and again next weekend 12pm till 4pm on Friday and Saturday before the prices jump to our 2021 rates. We will also accept E transfers at any time to [email protected] (please include full name, email address, and phone number of joining member along with correct total after tax.) or answering the phones during open hours for those who wish to call in with credit card payment.

Look forward to seeing some faces even if behind a mask, and can’t wait till the season can begin.

Kyle

Thank you everyone who took the time yesterday and Friday to call in and purchase their Muni memberships, or has sent E-transfer. We have seen lots of regulars and new faces already joining the Muni for the 2021 season, and we look forward to seeing many more in the coming to weeks.

With the announcement that we can move back into the orange category on Tuesday, we will be allowing people to come into the clubhouse to purchase their memberships on February 19th, 20th, 26th and 27th from 12pm till 4pm. Covid rules must be followed with the wearing of a mask, and we will monitor the number of people in the clubhouse at one time. If you are uncomfortable coming in we will still take credit card payments over the phone or the usual E-transfer to [email protected].

Look forward to seeing everyone who comes in the next couple weeks.

Hello Everyone

Just another quick reminder that our Early Membership Prices end on February 28th, and that we are currently taking membership payments via E-Transer at [email protected] and will be answering the phones in clubhouse on Feb 12th, 13th, 19th, 20th, 26th, and 27th from 12pm till 4pm for anyone who wishes to call in and pay via credit card over the phone or drop off a cheque at the front door.

Also we have been seeing an increase in people snow shoeing and cross country skiing on the property and across our greens and new bunkers and we are asking nicely if people would remain off the property as this can cause damage to both the greens and our new bunkers.

Look forward to seeing everyone in the Spring

Kyle

Thank you to everyone who reached out after our last Muni minute with interest in our Early Membership Sales. Memberships can be purchased at any time via E-Transfer to [email protected] please make sure to attach Full name of the joining member, email they wish to use for online booking, phone number and the correct price after taxes in the transfer. Feel free to reach out to me first if you need the total after tax or want to add on other services beside the membership and need a full total. We will also be open on February 12th, 13th, 19th, 20th, 26th and 27th from 12pm-4pm for anyone who wishes to call in to the clubhouse and purchases their membership over the phone via credit card, or drop off a cheque via our drop off window. Early Membership deals will come to an end on February 28th and the 2021 prices will be put into place.

We have also recently launched our new online booking service and yesterday added anyone who joined during our Pay Now Play Now deal in the fall, you may have received an email today from the new system about your log in information and everyone else will receive theirs as they purchase their 2021 membership. It may be a little learning curve in the Spring for everyone but the new system will be much more user friendly for members, guest and staff.

I look forward to hearing from everyone either over email or phone coming up and then seeing everyone once the season begins.

Hello Everyone

As 2021 has hit us with another lockdown and stay at home order I hope everyone is staying safe and finding ways to stay busy without golf. It has been awhile since I’ve sent out a Muni Minute as we ourselves have been keeping busy at the Muni with many improvements this Fall/Winter.

We saw Vergeer Golf Inc. come in and renovate all of our bunkers.

Seen the majority of our dead ash trees removed from course.

Changed over our tee sheet system from Tee-on.com to ChronoGolf which will give everyone an easier and smoother tee time making experience.

Freshened up our bar area, along with adding a Pro Shop where the pool table used to be, as the Muni will now offer Cobra/Puma, attire, clubs, etc. for sale, along with serval fitting days throughout the year hosted on our range.

Lastly preparing for our new “much bigger” patio, which we should see construction begin end of March and completed by end of April for us to enjoy during the 2021 season.

I truly can’t wait for everyone to see these changes as we always continue to making the Muni the best it can be.

With that being said we are normally starting to prepare for our Early Membership Sales in February, with the clubhouse open for sales on Fridays and Saturdays. I am currently trying to find ways that we can still accommodate these sales within the new restrictions, but for the time being we do offer the option of membership purchases being made via E-transfers and anyone interested should email [email protected] for purchasing information. We also are working on ideas such as open hours for purchases to be made via credit card over the phone remotely, and curbside drop-off style payment during these hours for anyone who still pays via cheque.

I hope to have a solid plan in place in the coming week and will post all details via Muni Minute, Website and our Facebook Page.

Can’t wait to be back golfing in 2021

Stay Safe

Hello Everyone

What a couple weeks of weather to start Nov!! I just wanted to send a quick update on what has happened around the course during this time. Last week we saw 40 dead ash tree removed from holes 6 and 7 along with the start of our full bunker renovation, and hopefully by the end of next week the bunkers will be fully completed, ready for play first thing next spring. This winter we will also see the removal of the forest left of 2 green and the majority of the remaining dead ash on holes 8 and 9. We know it was hard to not be out playing last week in the perfect weather but it has allowed us to get a huge jump start on these projects bringing you the best Muni possible in 2021. I really look forward to everyone seeing these changes come Spring!!

Lastly to complete our 2020 AGM Process here is a quick update from the Board.

Thank you to all members that participated in the AGM process by
requesting report packages.  A few errors were spotted in the package
and corrections were made.

Four 3-year terms were open for the board of directors and the following
members were acclaimed to the positions. Congratulations to Jamie
Antonio, Jack Brooks, Dan Martin and Mark Nelson.

This muni minute concludes the process for the 2020 AGM.

Hello Everyone

What a beautiful fall it has been for golf!! It’s been so nice to see the golf course continue to be busy into the last week of October and with that being said I’m just sending out some quick updates.

For everyone asking about the closing date, we are looking at Sunday Nov 1st right now as being the final day. The weather forecast for the first week of Nov does look nice for golf, but we have the opportunity to have our full bunker renovations start on Nov 2nd, and can’t miss this opportunity to get the work done so next season when everyone returns they are complete and ready to play.

The power carts will be leaving for the season this Friday, so we are asking that everyone who also has their own cart in the compound have it removed by Friday as well.

Lastly for anyone who has yet to clear out their lockers please do so asap so they are clear for winter cleaning, and if you are in possession of a pull cart handle please make sure to return before Sunday.

Thanks, hope to see everyone out this week

Kyle

Hello Everyone

As the season starts to wind down, I just thought I would send out a few house keeping items. I have yet to decide on a firm closing date, but since the 14 day forecast has a chance of snow from Oct 27th to Nov 1st, I can almost guarantee that it will be somewhere very close to Sat Oct 31st, unless we see a big change in the weather for early Nov. With that being said I am asking that everyone has their lockers cleared out and locks removed by Oct 26th, for winter cleaning. We will also be seeing our carts removed for the season on Oct 30th so we are asking for anyone with their own cart in compound to also have their carts removes by the 30th as well.

Thanks and hope to see lots of people out before the end of the 2020 season.

Kyle
